Question
Consider a function \(f\), for \(0 \le x \le 10\). The following diagram shows the graph of \(f’\), the derivative of \(f\).
The graph of \(f’\) passes through \((2,{\text{ }} – 2)\) and \((5,{\text{ }}1)\), and has \(x\)-intercepts at \(0\), \(4\) and \(6\).
The graph of \(f\) has a local maximum point when \(x = p\). State the value of \(p\), and justify your answer.
Write down \(f'(2)\).
Let \(g(x) = \ln \left( {f(x)} \right)\) and \(f(2) = 3\).
Find \(g'(2)\).
Verify that \(\ln 3 + \int_2^a {g'(x){\text{d}}x = g(a)} \), where \(0 \le a \le 10\).
The following diagram shows the graph of \(g’\), the derivative of \(g\).
The shaded region \(A\) is enclosed by the curve, the \(x\)-axis and the line \(x = 2\), and has area \({\text{0.66 unit}}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\).
The shaded region \(B\) is enclosed by the curve, the \(x\)-axis and the line \(x = 5\), and has area \({\text{0.21 unit}}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\).
Find \(g(5)\).

eg\(\;\;\;g(5) – g(4) = 0.21,{\text{ }}g(2) – g(4) = 0.66\)
combining equations to eliminate \(g(4)\) (M1)
eg\(\;\;\;g(5) – [\ln 3 – 0.66] = 0.21\)
\(0.648612\)

Question
A particle P moves along a straight line. Its velocity \({v_{\text{P}}}{\text{ m}}\,{{\text{s}}^{ – 1}}\) after \(t\) seconds is given by \({v_{\text{P}}} = \sqrt t \sin \left( {\frac{\pi }{2}t} \right)\), for \(0 \leqslant t \leqslant 8\). The following diagram shows the graph of \({v_{\text{P}}}\).
Write down the first value of \(t\) at which P changes direction.
Find the total distance travelled by P, for \(0 \leqslant t \leqslant 8\).
A second particle Q also moves along a straight line. Its velocity, \({v_{\text{Q}}}{\text{ m}}\,{{\text{s}}^{ – 1}}\) after \(t\) seconds is given by \({v_{\text{Q}}} = \sqrt t \) for \(0 \leqslant t \leqslant 8\). After \(k\) seconds Q has travelled the same total distance as P.
Find \(k\).
